Now that gmail added imap, I've been trying to see if I can sync gmail/imap with my local dovecot maildir. I've been trying offlineimap. So far, I've created a loop resulting in a directory with size > 1000000 entries.
I haven't tried, but:
Are you using offlineimap in IMAP<->Maildir mode, or IMAP<->IMAP mode? I found the former way stabler.
You might also try the offlineimap mailing list.
I wish you good luck, and I'm interested to hear more. More verbosity from you would help, like what options you tried and if there were any errors, etc.
I tried Imap<->Maildir. That was easy to setup without messing up my existing imap (just use cp -al old-maildir new-maildir). I guess to do Imap<->Imap I could create another user account on my dovecot server (I'm the only user on that system, it's just using local accounts and local unix auth).
.offlineimaprc is attached. I wanted to try syncing just 1 folder (fetchmail). I've never used offlineimap before, and was just guessing at some of the settings.
